Baba Jamal Mohammed Ahmed, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for the Ayawaso East Constituency, has denied allegations of vote buying following his recall as Ghana’s High Commissioner to Nigeria.
In a press release, Baba Jamal said his attention had been drawn to a communiqué signed by the Spokesperson to the President and Minister for Government Communications announcing his recall. According to him, the recall was based on allegations of vote buying during the recently concluded NDC parliamentary primaries in the Ayawaso East Constituency.
The statement also referenced an earlier communication issued by the General Secretary of the NDC, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, which condemned the alleged act and called for a full investigation into the matter.
Responding to the allegations, Baba Jamal stated categorically that he had not engaged in any form of vote buying or electoral malpractice. He pledged his full cooperation with the party’s investigative process, indicating his readiness to assist whenever required.
“I, Baba Jamal Mohammed Ahmed, have not engaged in any vote buying or election malpractices,” he stated, adding that he would make himself available to support the party’s inquiry into the allegations.
He further expressed gratitude to President John Dramani Mahama for the opportunity to serve Ghana as High Commissioner to Nigeria, describing the appointment as an honour.
Baba Jamal also thanked members of the NDC in the Ayawaso East Constituency for the confidence reposed in him to lead the party into the upcoming by-election scheduled for March 3, 2026.
